In reply to the discussion: Appeals Court Rejects Flynn Bid To Force Judge To End Criminal Case, No Questions Asked [View all]Princess Turandot
(4,787 posts)24. Judge Griffith, in a concurring opinion on his last day on the bench...
Nice rebuke of the 2 judges on the original appeals court panel who found for Flynn.
On his last day on the bench, Judge Thomas Griffith writes:
"Today we reach the unexceptional yet important conclusion that a court of appeals should stay its hand and allow the district court to finish its work rather than hear a challenge to a decision not yet made."
Ann Marimow is a legal reporter for WaPo.

Griffith announced his retirement early this year, thus the 'last day on the bench' reference. He was a 2005 appointee of Bush 43 in 2005. (Both Obama and Biden voted to confirm him at the time.)
